Flounder
gigging is done at night, with powerful lights to illuminate the bay bottom,
and all the fish that live on the shallow flats. Flounder are usually found
in shallow, clear water at night, and can be gigged in anywhere from 2"
of water to 4 feet of water. Flounder "bury" themselves on the
bottom of the shallow flats, trying to ambush a meal. Because they are trying
to ambush their prey, they do not run away when a boat with lights approaches.
To gig the flounder, one simply stabs the fish with a multi-prong gig and
lifts the fish into the boat. Anyone can do this, it takes very little time
to learn, and people from 4 years old to 95 years old have gigged fish with
Night Stalker.

All of my gigging is done from my 26 foot flat-bottom custom flounder boat.
There is no need to get in the water, and all the equipment is provided. The
boat is complete with outboard, air-motor, full underwater / above water lights,
and all of the latest GPS and safety equipment. The boat can accommodate up
to 6 adults, and has comfortable seats for all passengers. When fully loaded
with 6 people and gear, the boat still floats in 4-5 inches of water, making
it easy to get into the shallow water where the flounder hide.

Capt. Rick
has been a full-time flounder gigging guide since 2002 (15 years of experience).
He knows how to handle all different kinds of groups, and loves having kids
and families on the boat.

One of
the most interesting things at night, is all of the marine life you can see
from the boat. With the airmotor running and flounder lights on, the fish seem
unaware of your presence, and the flats come to life with activity. On a typical
night you will see the following species in large numbers: Flounder, Redfish,
Mullet, Stingray, Needlefish, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Speckled Trout, Croaker,
Blue Crab, Stone Crab, Shrimp, and Alligator Gar.

When you
go gigging with Capt. Rick, you will need to bring the following items.

Flounder
gigging trips depart at sunset, and typically last 6-8 hours. The limit on flounder
is 5 per person, with 14" minimum, and the guide can not keep any fish.
Black drum and sheephead are also legal to gig. Capt. Rick can also accommodate
bow-fishing, but please bring your own equipment if you want to bow-fish.

Capt. Rick's Boat

It is 26' long and 9 feet wide. I can accomodate
groups of 6+ people with ease.
